If your son is into stuff (and I don't mean family movies) he needs to see a competent therapist. There are professionals who are in the field as a calling and professionals who do it for the money. Its very hard to differentiate. Do research before you go to anyone. A bad therapist can ruin your life.

And once more, I would like to read about what competent therapists do to treat teens whose only issue is viewing [filth].

I got this for my kids:

https://meetcircle.com/

It is a device that connects to your wifi and from an app on your phone, you control every single wifi device in your house separately.

My 11 and 13 year old have phones/ipads and this Circle device:

* turns off the phone completely at bed time
* regulates how much netflix /snapchat/instagram/any app they can have per day. When they reach their limit, that program stops working and I get a text message.
* filters content according to the age limits I set up
* allows me to pause the internet just on that phone and I use this when they are having a tantrum it works phenomenally well.
* allows me to create off times for doing homework and clean up
* allows me to reward them with extra time
* automatically locks onto every device that enters the home, like their friends, and sends me a message about it.

It works well for me.


That's an idea...thanks
